Ok, after doing some basic math, I can fit 102000 6mm figs on my table, that is based 40 figs to a 2x1" base.

I checked how much room 6 of those bases took, that was 12 square inches. I only have 20 to a base but it's easly room to place them 4 deep line of 10 figs each line, this is ofcourse not any playing type formation just the max amount of figs you can get on the base.
So 240 pr 12 squre inch.

Now how many of those do I get on the table, well my table is 5100 square inches so I get 425 12square inches.
240x425=102 000
So that is max the number of figs I could get in the table if based to the max fig to sqaure inch.

And thats the goal, natuarly I'm not going to base them like that becasue no rules I used have them bases like that, and not all the figs will be based the same ect.
But 102 000 is my goal. When I get to that I will either Hang my self or buy a bigger table.

Buy a bigger table.

How much will those figures weigh? Have you allowed for that weight on the table?

Might as well go ahead and get a bigger table now, and make sure you get in extra reinforcement on the table and the floor.

Somehow painting 400 28mm Gauls doesn't sound so bad all of a sudden.

I'd guess that is between 500 and 1000lbs, Depending on what you use for basing materials. I have 12,000 6mm figures and that has been a lot of work. 100,000? Good luck!

You see the problem is that I don't have room for it, I have 2x6 feet of space that is my kitchen.
And I have a 2.5 feet wide "corridor" and that corridor is in theory the only place I can expand the table. the problem is that I have a fridge, sofa and closet, and the fridge and closet need those two feet to open up.
So I REALY don't have room,
Therfor to buy a bigger table I first need to buy a house or BIG apartment.
That will run me 3-5 million kroners, that 450-780 000 dollars. Try getting that on welfare

Yeah, it`s the best reason, to buy a bigger house, because you need a bigger table, to put more than 102.000 figs on it.

Well the only reason I moved out of my parents apartment was that I was tierd of having a small 3x5 dinig room table to play on, that I had to clear every time we had dinner guests
